HOMECOMING 78 The 78-79 royal court was ruled by King Tom Hatch and Queen Vicky McClure. Their attendants were seniors David Downie and Janet Kane, juniors Nick Cronin and Diana Nelson, sophomores Pete Seterdahl and Leslie Swend-seen, and freshmen Mike Korengold and Ann Berglund. Three of the Homecoming athletic events took place on Thursday. The soccer team faced a tough Minnehaha team and lost with a 2-0 decision. The swim team was victorious over the Ben-ilde Red Knights, and the volleyball team filled the stands with supportive fans, but was defeated by a good Minnehaha squad. All events were well attended and the teams appreciated the enthusiastic Homecoming fan support. Many alumni were present for the climax of athletic events. Blake's football squad took on Minnehaha's Indians. The crowd of fans cheered the team on to a comeback victory of 18 to 13 in which Blake really succeeded in. Bear-ying the Indians. The half-time parade featured the royalty, cheerleaders, and tloats made by the underclassmen. A few band members from Edina East also added to the festivities. The final event of the Homecoming 78 was the Homecoming dance. This year couples danced in semi-formal attire to the sounds of Cabin Fever. All students agreed the dance was a perfect ending to the week-long Homecoming activities. The 1978 Homecoming was memorable for all involved. The activities inspired enthusiasm and unity in the school. Homecoming— 29
